Procrastination

Yeah.... i know.... I procrastinated again. Basically I've decided that no matter how determined I stay, my work load is just so insanely frigging high right now that Im not going to be able to keep any ultra constant posting going on.... although i can promise some good posts this weekend, and possibly even some good action photos ;) Stay tuned for that. And in other news, I will only be with the Vans team for another couple days before I officially transition to Bicycles West as a full part time employee ;)

Sorry for being such a crappy blogger recently. I promise you it will get better <3

Koala, out

Awesome ride!!!

Again, I've been slacking on the posting. Well I am on a slight break now... the final countdown if you will. I have completed all of my IA's for school and now have a 1.5 month study sesh before exams!!!! So get pumped! Bike race coming up on the 3rd of April, getting the school team together! WOOT. And going to start working over at bicycles west in the next couple weeks. Big things are a happening!

Anyway here are some aftermath pictures from a ride last week, I went out and tested this beautiful Trek Remedy 8. Handled awesomely over all the wet and muddy roots and rocks, climbed well, and descended ever better. All in all i would give it a 4 out of 5



Boy do I love me my muddy rides! And also my beautiful girlfriend ;)

Killer Koala, out.

HOUSE!

Sorry for the long time between posts, school is really starting to heat up and the work load is getting even more intense. Who know that was possible?? Anyway, My friend and I decided today in art class, that we are going to build a legit house! Only catch is; its only going to have 9 square feet of interior space. One wall will just be a door and the adjacent wall will be a cut out "window" and exterior counter. We are still in the planning processes but here is a sneak preview of one of my beginning schematic sketches...

NEW components!!!

I got some shiny new pedals from my dad the other week. They are specialized cr-mo pedals in the anodized champagne color.


They are about 2.5 centimeters tall and have a fairly narrow foot platform, luckily it feels perfect under my feet. The pins that come stock seem to be easily replaceable with any common sized threaded bolt/screw and also they grip well. All in all im loving them so far. We will have to wait and see how well and how long the will hold up ;)

Contents of ze box :)

So my amazingly awesome girlfriend got me the best gift ever for my birthday :) A panini press!!!! SCOREEEE

This comes at a perfect time as im getting ready to ship out to college in the latter part of this year. So breakfast, lunch and dinner its going to be panini's!

Thanks again babe ;) ♥♥♥



One full Koala, out.

Temporary art project...

So my latest art assignment is to create a temporary art project. My original plan of splashing water onto a canvas with dry pigments rubbed on totally failed. So i decided whats more temporary than food? And food can be art! So since im lazy i decided to stick with a simple to make, but looks good dessert and made a photographic timeline from production, to completion, to deterioration. It will be done tomorrow night so I will upload some pictures of the finished project, BUT for now.... Here is a picture of the dessert i made, photographed, and had to eat. It was a tough job but someone had to do it!



hmmm.... I still am curious as to what is in my box though!

Baker Koala out!

No for real, whats in the box jazz??

New digs!!

Hey, sorry for the sporadic blogging recently. I've been super busy with work and school. The weather has been steadily getting better and I will try to stay on top of blogging more often ;)

Recently I have won a new Transition saddle for my bike which is brown leather and has a super sick pressed design on it. See below :) So far it's been really nice and comfy and looks pretty at home on my bike.


And then two days ago our friend Kurt, who owns Bicycles west up in Lynwood, gave me a free set of Bontrager FR4 tires!!!!! Otherwise costing me a whopping $120.oo!!!! I rode them on the trails for the first time today and they hook up sooooo well! Good feeling fresh rubber again.


Other than that i might be going snowboarding this weekend if the conditions seem fair. Keep you posted.

Koala out.

Dinner Guest

So quick catch up, I went to duthie hill (a sick mountain bike park) on sunday and had a blast! The jumps, berms and trails were so much fun. And it was awesome seeing so many cool bikes around :P Definitely gonna head back there sometime, and take some pictures and video next time too!

So today i left at 6.30am as usual but went to work immediately after school, then got home at 6.46pm.... long day :P Sat down and did all my homework before i decided to eat something too. So by the time i finally sat down to eat something it was 10 something at night.... luckily though someone came downstairs and kept me company at the dinner table. Thanks Munchkin!



Good night, Koala.
